An officer arrived and was searching the parking lot when Omar Limon-Mariscal, 19, of Des Moines, came running up to him. He pointed out the vehicle he had been in.

The officer ordered the driver to step out of the vehicle, and the man was taken into custody. A gun was found in the center console, and three bullets were on the floor by the driver's seat, according to a police report.

Limon-Mariscal told officers it all started when he was sitting in his car at East 17th and Des Moines streets. A man approached the car and pointed a gun at him and told him to get inside his truck.

According to the police report, Limon-Mariscal told police the man demanded he help him find some narcotics. He made phone calls, and there were three stops made before they headed to the Walgreens, where he was able to make a call to police.

Mark Allen Hanrahan, 45, of Urbandale, was arrested and charged with second-degree kidnapping. He was taken to the Polk County Jail and is being held pending bail of $25,000.
